Abstract
Guangnanmycin A is a recently discovered congener of the well-known antitumor drug lead leinamycin; its macrolactam ring, however, is even more strained than that of the parent compound. The first synthetic foray towards this challenging target is reported, which relies on molybdenum-catalyzed macrocyclization by ring closing alkyne metathesis (RCAM) followed by ruthenium-catalyzed redox isomerization of the propargyl alcohol thus formed; the resulting enone enabled the introduction of the yet missing exo-methylene group by a modified Peterson olefination. The signature disulfide moiety of guangnanmycin A was installed by strain-driven thia-Michael addition followed by conversion of the thioether thus formed into an unsymmetric disulfide with the aid of (methylthio)dimethylsulfonium tetrafluoroborate and MeSSMe. While this sequence furnished racemic guangnanmycin A alcohol in good overall yield, the final oxidation to the corresponding acid failed, most likely because of the exceptional sensitivity of the strained scaffold.

Abstract
Molybdenum alkylidynes endowed with tripodal silanolate ligands belong to the most active and selective catalysts for alkyne metathesis known to date. This paper describes a new generation that is distinguished by an unprecedented level of stability and practicality without sacrificing the chemical virtues of their predecessors. Specifically, pyridine adducts of type 16 are easy to make on gram scale, can be routinely weighed and handled in air, and stay intact for many months outside the glovebox. When dissolved in toluene, however, spontaneous dissociation of the stabilizing pyridine ligand releases an active species of excellent performance and functional group tolerance. Specifically, a host of polar and apolar groups, various protic sites, and numerous basic functionalities proved compatible. The catalysts are characterized by crystallographic and spectroscopic means, including 95Mo NMR; their activity and stability are benchmarked in detail, and the enabling properties are illustrated by advanced applications to natural product synthesis. For the favorable overall application profile and ease of handling, complexes of this new series are expected to replace earlier catalyst generations and help encourage a more regular use of alkyne metathesis in general.

Abstract
A unique benzannulation strategy for regioselective de novo synthesis of densely functionalized phenols is described. Through metal-mediated formal [2+2+1+1] cycloaddition of two different alkynes and two molecules of CO, a series of densely functionalized phenols were obtained. The benzannulation strategy allows efficient regioselective installation up to five different substituents on a phenol ring. The resulting phenols have a substitution pattern different from those obtained from Dötz and Danheiser benzannulations.

Abstract
![]()
For numerous enabling features and strategic virtues, contemporary
alkyne metathesis is increasingly recognized as a formidable synthetic
tool. Central to this development was the remarkable evolution of
the catalysts during the past decades. Molybdenum alkylidynes carrying
(tripodal) silanolate ligands currently set the standards; their functional
group compatibility is exceptional, even though they comprise an early
transition metal in its highest oxidation state. Their performance
is manifested in case studies in the realm of dynamic covalent chemistry,
advanced applications to solid-phase synthesis, a revival of transannular
reactions, and the assembly of complex target molecules at sites,
which one may not intuitively trace back to an acetylenic ancestor.
In parallel with these innovations in material science and organic
synthesis, new insights into the mode of action of the most advanced
catalysts were gained by computational means and the use of unconventional
analytical tools such as 95Mo and 183W NMR spectroscopy.
The remaining shortcomings, gaps, and desiderata in the field are
also critically assessed.

Abstract

Many
polycyclic marine
alkaloids are thought to derive from partly
reduced macrocyclic alkylpyridine derivatives via a transannular Diels–Alder
reaction that forms their common etheno-bridged diaza-decaline core
(“Baldwin–Whitehead hypothesis”). Rather than
trying to emulate this biosynthesis pathway, a route to these natural
products following purely chemical logic was pursued. Specifically,
a Michael/Michael addition cascade provided rapid access to this conspicuous
tricyclic scaffold and allowed different handles to be introduced
at the bridgehead quarternary center. This flexibility opened opportunities
for the formation of the enveloping medium-sized and macrocyclic rings.
Ring closing alkyne metathesis (RCAM) proved most reliable and became
a recurrent theme en route to keramaphidin B, ingenamine, xestocyclamine
A, and nominal njaoamine I (the structure of which had to be corrected
in the aftermath of the synthesis). Best results were obtained with
molybdenum alkylidyne catalysts endowed with (tripodal) silanolate
ligands, which proved fully operative in the presence of tertiary
amines, quinoline, and other Lewis basic sites. RCAM was successfully
interlinked with macrolactamization, an intricate hydroboration/protonation/alkyl-Suzuki
coupling sequence, or ring closing olefin metathesis (RCM) for the
closure of the second lateral ring; the use of RCM for the formation
of an 11-membered cycle is particularly noteworthy. Equally rare are
RCM reactions that leave a pre-existing triple bond untouched, as
the standard ruthenium catalysts are usually indiscriminative vis-à-vis
the different π-bonds. Of arguably highest significance, however,
is the use of two consecutive or even concurrent RCAM reactions en
route to nominal njaoamine I as the arguably most complex of the chosen
targets.

Abstract
The asymmetric intramolecular aza-Michael reaction (IMAMR) is a very convenient strategy for the generation of heterocycles bearing nitrogen-substituted stereocenters. Due to the ubiquitous presence of these skeletons in natural products, the IMAMR has found widespread applications in the total synthesis of alkaloids and biologically relevant compounds. The development of asymmetric versions of the IMAMR are quite recent, most of them reported in this century. The fundamental advances in this field involve the use of organocatalysts. Chiral imidazolidinones, diaryl prolinol derivatives, Cinchone-derived primary amines and quaternary ammonium salts, and BINOL-derived phosphoric acids account for the success of those methodologies. Moreover, the use of N-sulfinyl imines with a dual role, as nitrogen nucleophiles and as chiral auxiliaries, appeared as a versatile mode of performing the asymmetric IMAMR.

Abstract
A concise synthesis of the alkaloid lythranidine is reported. The strategy exploits the target's local C2 symmetry by adopting a two directional synthetic approach, first in an acyclic environment, then in a cyclic system and finally in a bridged macrocyclic domain. The latter phase of the synthesis, which installs all four stereocenters, involves a thermodynamically controlled, twofold intermolecular/transannular aza-Michael addition and a twofold hydride reduction. The synthesis is one third of the length of the most step-economic previous approach, providing access to gram quantities of the natural product. The broad-spectrum nature of the synthesis is demonstrated through the preparation of three diastereomeric analogues of the natural product.

Abstract
Proof-of-concept is provided that a large estate of 16-membered macrolide antibiotics can be reached by a "unified" approach. The key building block was formed on scale by an asymmetric vinylogous Mukaiyama aldol reaction; its alkene terminus was then converted either into the corresponding methyl ketone by Wacker oxidation or into a chain-extended aldehyde by catalyst-controlled branch-selective asymmetric hydroformylation. These transformations ultimately opened access to two structurally distinct series of macrolide targets. Notable late-stage maneuvers comprise a rare example of a ruthenium-catalyzed redox isomerization of an 1,3-enyne-5-ol into a 1,3-diene-5-one derivative, as well as the elaboration of a tertiary propargylic alcohol into an acyloin by trans-hydrostannation/Chan-Lam-type coupling. Moreover, this case study illustrates the underutilized possibility of forging complex macrolactone rings by transesterification under essentially neutral conditions.

Abstract

Macrocyclic
natural products are plentiful in
the bacteria, archaea,
and eukaryote domains of life. For the significant advantages that
they provide to the producing organisms, evolution has learned how
to implement various types of macrocyclization reactions into the
different biosynthetic pathways and how to effect them with remarkable
ease. Mankind greatly benefits from nature’s pool, not least
because naturally occurring macrocycles or derivatives thereof serve
as important drugs for the treatment of many serious ailments. In stark contrast, macrocyclization reactions are usually perceived
as difficult to accomplish by purely chemical means. While it is true
that ring closure necessarily entails an entropic loss and may result
in the buildup of (considerable) ring strain that must be compensated
for in one way or the other, it is also fair to note tremendous methodological
advances during the last decades that greatly alleviated this traditional
“macrocycle challenge”. It is therefore increasingly
possible to explore the advantages provided by large as well as medium-size
ring systems in a more systematic manner. This venture also holds
the promise of increasing the “chemical space” amenable
to drug development to a considerable extent. In consideration
of this and other important long-term perspectives,
it is appropriate to revisit the current state of the art. To this
end, a number of vignettes are presented, each of which summarizes
a total synthesis project targeting macrocyclic natural products of
greatly different chemotypes using a variety of transformations to
reach these goals. Although we were occasionally facing “dead
ends”, which are also delineated for the sake of a complete
picture, these case studies illustrate the notion that the formation
of a certain macrocyclic perimeter is (usually) no longer seriously
limiting. In addition to substantial progress in the “classical”
repertoire (macrolactonization and macrolactamization
(pateamine A, spirastrellolide, and belizentrin)), various metal-catalyzed
reactions have arguably led to the greatest leaps forward. Among them,
palladium-catalyzed C–C bond formation (roseophilin and nominal
xestocyclamine A) and, in particular, alkene and alkyne metathesis
stand out (iejimalide, spirastrellolide, enigmazole, ingenamine, and
sinulariadiolide). In some cases, different methods were pursued in
parallel, thus allowing for a critical assessment and comparison. To the extent that the macrocyclic challenge is vanishing, the
opportunity arises to focus attention on the postmacrocyclization
phase. One may stipulate that a well-designed cyclization precursor
does not only ensure efficient ring closure but also fosters and streamlines
the steps that come after the event. One way to do so is dual (multiple)
use in that the functional groups serving the actual cyclization reaction
also find productive applications downstream from it rather than being
subject to simple defunctionalization. In this context,
better insight into the conformational peculiarities of large rings
and the growing confidence in their accessibility in a stereochemically
well defined format rejuvenate the implementation of transannular
reactions or reaction cascades that can lead to rapid and substantial
increases in molecular complexity. The examples summarized herein
showcase such possibilities, with special emphasis on tranannular
gold catalysis and the emerging ruthenium-catalyzed trans-hydrometalation chemistry for the selective functionalization of
alkynes.

Abstract
Total synthesis allowed the constitution of the cytotoxic marine macrolides of the formosalide family to be confirmed and their previously unknown stereostructure to be assigned with confidence. The underlying blueprint was inherently modular to ensure that each conceivable isomer could be reached. This flexibility derived from the use of strictly catalyst controlled transformations to set the stereocenters, except for the anomeric position, which is under thermodynamic control; as an extra safety measure, all stereogenic centers were set prior to ring closure to preclude any interference of the conformation adopted by the macrolactone rings of the different diastereomers. Late-stage macrocyclization by ring-closing alkyne metathesis was followed by a platinum-catalyzed transannular 6-exo-dig hydroalkoxylation/ketalization to craft the polycyclic frame. The side chain featuring a very labile unsaturation pattern was finally attached to the core by Stille coupling.

Abstract
Triarylsilanolates are privileged ancillary ligands for molybdenum alkylidyne catalysts for alkyne metathesis but lead to disappointing results and poor stability in the tungsten series. 1 H,183 W heteronuclear multiple bond correlation spectroscopy, exploiting a favorable 5 J-coupling between the 183 W center and the peripheral protons on the alkylidyne cap, revealed that these ligands upregulate the Lewis acidity to an extent that the tungstenacyclobutadiene formed in the initial [2+2] cycloaddition step is over-stabilized and the catalytic turnover brought to a halt. Guided by the 183 W NMR shifts as a proxy for the Lewis acidity of the central atom and by an accompanying chemical shift tensor analysis of the alkylidyne unit, the ligand design was revisited and a more strongly π-donating all-alkoxide ligand prepared. The new expanded chelate complex has a tempered Lewis acidity and outperforms the classical Schrock catalyst, carrying monodentate tert-butoxy ligands, in terms of rate and functional-group compatibility.

of this compound had originally been misassigned. The route to (−)-1 is based on a double Michael addition for the formation
of the bridged diazadecalin core and a palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative
allylation to install the quaternary bridgehead center. Ring-closing
alkyne metathesis allowed a 13-membered cycloalkyne to be forged,
which was selectively reduced during an involved sequence of hydroboration/selective
protodeborylation/alkyl-Suzuki coupling used to close the 11-membered
ring. Crystallographic data prove the identity of synthetic (−)-1 with nominal xestocyclamine, but the spectra differ from
those of the authentic alkaloid. To clarify the point, the synthesis
was redirected toward ingenamine (3), which is supposedly
a positional isomer of 1. The recorded data confirm the
assignment of this particular natural product and strongly suggest
that xestocyclamine A is in fact the enantiomer of ingenamine (+)-3.

Abstract
![]()
A new family of structurally well-defined
molybdenum alkylidyne
catalysts for alkyne metathesis, which is distinguished by a tripodal
trisilanolate ligand architecture, is presented. Complexes of type 1 combine the virtues of previous generations of silanolate-based
catalysts with a significantly improved functional group tolerance.
They are easy to prepare on scale; the modularity of the ligand synthesis
allows the steric and electronic properties to be fine-tuned and hence
the application profile of the catalysts to be optimized. This opportunity
is manifested in the development of catalyst 1f, which
is as reactive as the best ancestors but exhibits an unrivaled scope.
The new catalysts work well in the presence of unprotected alcohols
and various other protic groups. The chelate effect entails even a
certain stability toward water, which marks a big leap forward in
metal alkylidyne chemistry in general. At the same time, they tolerate
many donor sites, including basic nitrogen and numerous heterocycles.
This aspect is substantiated by applications to polyfunctional (natural)
products. A combined spectroscopic, crystallographic, and computational
study provides insights into structure and electronic character of
complexes of type 1. Particularly informative are a density
functional theory (DFT)-based chemical shift tensor analysis of the
alkylidyne carbon atom and 95Mo NMR spectroscopy; this
analytical tool had been rarely used in organometallic chemistry before
but turns out to be a sensitive probe that deserves more attention.
The data show that the podand ligands render a Mo-alkylidyne a priori
more electrophilic than analogous monodentate triarylsilanols; proper
ligand tuning, however, allows the Lewis acidity as well as the steric
demand about the central atom to be adjusted to the point that excellent
performance of the catalyst is ensured.

Abstract
A new type of molybdenum alkylidyne catalysts for alkyne metathesis is described, which is distinguished by an unconventional podand topology. These structurally well-defined complexes are easy to make on scale and proved to be tolerant toward numerous functional groups; even certain protic substituents were found to be compatible. The new catalysts were characterized by X-ray crystallography and by spectroscopic means, including 95 Mo NMR.

Abstract
Novel alkyne-bridged ferrocenophanes [fc{CO2(CH2) n C≡}2] (2a: n = 2; 2b: n = 3) were synthesized from the corresponding terminal diacetylenic ferrocenes [fc{CO2(CH2) n C≡CH}2] (1a: n = 2; 1b: n = 3) through ring-closing alkyne metathesis (RCAM) utilizing the highly effective molybdenum catalyst [MesC≡Mo{OC(CF3)2CH3}3] (MoF6; Mes = 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl). The metathesis reaction occurs in short time with high yields whilst giving full conversion of the terminal alkynes. Furthermore, the solvent-dependant reactivity of 2a towards Ag(SbF6) is investigated, leading to oxidation and formation of the ferrocenium hexafluoroantimonate 4 in dichloromethane, whereas the silver(I) coordination polymer 5 was isolated from THF solution.

Abstract
In this account, we provide a brief summary of recent developments in ruthenium-catalyzed metathesis cascade reactions towards the total synthesis of natural products. We also highlight recent progress from our own laboratory regarding the synthesis of securinega alkaloids and humulanolides, which has resulted in the development of novel ruthenium-catalyzed metathesis cascade reactions. Inspired and guided by the pioneering and elegant research conducted in this area, we developed a regio-controlled relay dienyne metathesis cascade reaction and a cyclobutene-promoted RCM/ROM/RCM cascade reaction for the synthesis of securinega alkaloids and humulanolides, respectively.

Abstract
Mandelalide A and three congeners had recently been isolated as the supposedly highly cytotoxic principles of an ascidian collected off the South African coastline. Since these compounds are hardly available from the natural source, a concise synthesis route was developed, targeting structure 1 as the purported representation of mandelalide A. The sequence involves an iridium-catalyzed two-directional Krische allylation and a cobalt-catalyzed carbonylative epoxide opening as entry points for the preparation of the major building blocks. The final stages feature the first implementation of terminal acetylene metathesis into natural product total synthesis, which is remarkable in that this class of substrates had been beyond the reach of alkyne metathesis for decades. Synthetic 1, however, proved not to be identical with the natural product. In an attempt to clarify this issue, NMR spectra were simulated for 20 conceivable diastereomers by using DFT followed by DP4 analysis; however, this did not provide a reliable assignment either. The puzzle was ultimately solved by the preparation of three diastereomers, of which compound 6 proved identical with mandelalide A in all analytical and spectroscopic regards. As the entire "northern sector" about the tetrahydrofuran ring in 6 shows the opposite configuration of what had originally been assigned, it is highly likely that the stereostructures of the sister compounds mandelalides B-D must be corrected analogously; we propose that these natural products are accurately represented by structures 68-70. In an attempt to prove this reassignment, an entry into mandelalides C and D was sought by subjecting an advanced intermediate of the synthesis of 6 to a largely unprecedented intramolecular Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction, which furnished the γ-lactone derivative 74 as a mixture of diastereomers. Whereas (24R)-74 was amenable to a hydroxyl-directed dihydroxylation by using OsO4 /TMEDA as the reagent, the sister compound (24S)-74 did not follow a directed path but simply obeyed Kishi's rule; only this unexpected escape precluded the preparation of mandelalides C and D by this route. A combined spectroscopic and computational (DFT) study showed that the reasons for this strikingly different behavior of the two diastereomers of 74 are rooted in their conformational peculiarities. This aspect apart, our results show that the OsO4 /TMEDA complex reacts preferentially with electron deficient double bonds even if other alkenes are present that are more electron rich and less encumbered. Finally, in a brief biological survey authentic mandelalide A (6) was found to exhibit appreciable cytotoxicity only against one out of three tested human cancer cell lines and all synthetic congeners were hardly active. No significant fungicidal properties were observed.

Abstract
A new method has been developed for the concise and asymmetric synthesis of seven humulanolides in 5-7 steps without the need for protecting groups. Notably, the challenging 11-membered ring and bridged butenolide moieties in asteriscunolide D and 6,7,9,10-tetrahydroasteriscunolide were introduced in one step using a ring-opening/ring-closing metathesis cascade reaction. Asteriscunolide D was used as a versatile synthetic precursor to prepare asteriscunolides A-C via a photoinduced isomerization reaction, asteriscanolide via a unique transannular Michael reaction, and 6,7,9,10-tetradehydroasteriscanolide via a transannular Morita-Baylis-Hillman-type reaction. The unique bicyclo[6.3.0]undecane core was introduced diastereoselectively.
